Default Light or fuse for Auto shift

I noticed Saturday night that my shift selector light was not lighting up. Its hard to see at night what gear you are in. Has this happen to anybody? Was it a fuse - if so which one. I looked in fuse box but none of them say shifter or center console. I checked a couple fuses but they were fine. Any ideas? Could it be the bulb? Everything else check out ok inside and outside.

Thanks in advance.

Default shifter light

I have the same problem, and posted an inquiry with no answers yet. Hope someone has fixed this problem and lets us know.

If all other lights seem to be working and in sink then no doubt it is the bulb itself. You'll need to pull the consol to replace it!

Check this out it should apply for your console as well

Thanks for the info; I hope that’s all it is. I had the console off for the frost king mod. I wonder if I pulled a wire or something when I put it back in. I usually pretty careful when I do work like this (installed many stereo systems in several cars/Jeeps in the past). I will look at her next weekend.
